Strawberry and Banana Pancakes

These Strawberry and Banana Pancakes will become your new favourite pancake recipe – I promise!!

When my husband and the boys went out on their regular Saturday afternoon ‘boys outing’ (aka boys go wild) and came home with four containers of strawberries – as you do.  Now, all three of my boys have healthy appetites, but even I knew they wouldn’t be able to make their way through four containers of strawberries before they started to turn a bit funky, so I knew I needed to come up with something to make with them.

It was while preparing dinner on Saturday night and spying a couple of browning bananas in the fruit bowl that the thought crossed my mind I should make Banana Pancakes, as we hadn’t had them for awhile.  That’s when my brilliant idea hit me – why not make strawberry and banana pancakes!

I turned to my Banana Pancake recipe, removed the cinnamon (although I think they would still taste great with it) and added a smudge of vanilla.  I was really careful to gently fold the strawberries through the batter, as I wanted the to retain their shape and not go mushy.

The first pancake was a total write off (why does this always happen?) and I just had to try it while I cooked the rest.  Even on it’s own, it tasted great. I served these drizzled with maple syrup, a few sliced strawberries and some whipped cream  – delicious!  Luckily there were a couple left the next morning which I also enjoyed for breakfast – minus the whipped cream of course!

Tips for Making these Strawberry and Banana Pancakes:

• Gently fold through the strawberries and you want them to hold their shape.
• You can freeze the cooked pancakes.
• You will need 2 bananas for this recipe.
• The caster sugar can be left out of this recipe.
